'the truth of this we are now experience, now that England has
become the dwelling place of foreigners and a playground
for lords of alien blood.
No Englishman today is an Earl, a bishop or an Abbot; new
faces everywhere enjoy Englands riches and gnaw at her vitals.
Nor is there any hope of ending this miserable state of affairs'
Its worth noting here - that this is 50 odd years after the conquest, and the English people are still suffering.
The Author Marc Morris who wrote the Norman Conquest from which I just quoted goes onto comment that
'Marriage to a female member of the Native family they were displacing was another
strategy used ny the new Norman lords to bolster their claims to legitimacy'
Does this seem familiar?
